Ouch is right.

Apparently one of the front rotors literally disintegrated under the heavy strain of braking with aggressive race pads. That failure pulled the speeding (probably well over 100 mph at this point in the track) ‘vette into hitting the wall very hard, destroying the entire left side of the car and sending the car spinning back onto the track with the driver unconscious and injured. Fortunately the passenger was not injured at all (it was a father and son team – 53 year-old dad driving, 29 year-old son riding along) and the driver suffered little beyond the initial concussion and loss of consciousness – some sore ribs.

Any truth to that statement I wonder?

It appears that there was another one too:

Bad weekend for the Corvette crowd - as was April for BMW.

Sad photos. And, one of the reasons I stopped racing.

After seeing a beautiful '67 427 coupe lose the complete driver's side, the cost of blown engines, etc. moved down to #2 on my list of reasons to stop.

Mine at Mosport.

Below is mine now.
